Atlantic Senior Pluma Pross officially signed to continue her track and academic career at Briar Cliff University on Wednesday morning. Pross signed her letter of intent surrounded by her parents and coaches. Pross is coming off a strong Junior season for the Trojans. She was a member of the 4×400 meter relay team that took a 5th place medal at state and she also was a state qualifier in the 400 meter dash and finished in 15th place. She hopes to build on that success this season.

Pross said it was a tough decision on which college to attend but she ultimately felt Briar Cliff was the best place.

Former Atlantic Boys Head Track Coach Jordan Mullen is now an Assistant Coach with the Briar Cliff boys and girls track program and Pluma was his first signed recruit. He said he likes her competitive spirit.

Atlantic Head Girls Track Coach Matt Mullenix said it’s a great life experience for athletes that get to move on to the next level.

Pluma said she is excited for the possibilities the team has during her final high school season that is just getting underway.
